Yun Duo's confession surprised Yun Xiao a little, but no matter how much he asked, the stubborn girl in front of him said nothing, just filled Feng Zhaolian's cup with tea and said to him, "Drink it! Only when you are cured can you be in the best condition to deal with the crisis when it comes."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave. When she opened the door, Yun Xiao pulled her back from behind. Yun Duo was pulled sideways by him, frowned and said, "I really don't know martial arts, you don't need to use so much force to pull me." After that, she looked at Yun Xiao again, moved her mouth, and hesitated to speak.
At this time, Feng Zhaolian had already picked up the bowl of tea and drank it all in one gulp. Yun Xiao glared at him and called out, "Master!"
Yun Duo smiled and told them, "There really is no poison. I am not responsible for the poison. Feng Zhaolian, I know who you are. He asked me to lead you to Tongcheng because he wanted to catch you all here. But I think you are a good person and I can't bear it."
Feng Zhaolian laughed, "No matter how much we couldn't bear it, we followed you to Tongcheng. Now that Tongcheng is closed, we are trapped here, and we have fallen into the lair of the old thief Duanmu."
"But even without me, you would have ended up here anyway, wouldn't you?" Yun Duo blinked at Feng Zhaolian. "This is my fate, and yours as well. We just happened to be heading for the same goal. So, instead of you taking this path yourself, why don't you help me achieve this and let me claim the credit in front of him, thus fulfilling my wish."
Feng Zhaolian shrugged. "Now that you put it like that, I can't refute it. So what are you going to do next?"
Yun Duo told him: "I will disappear from now on. I will never appear in front of you again after I leave this door. I will do my work, and you... someone will come to take your lives soon." She said, looked at Yun Xiao again, thought for a while and said: "Although your martial arts are high, the other side has more people. If you really fight, you will suffer. If you believe me, go to the prefecture and live!"
After Yun Duo finished speaking, she broke free from Yun Xiao's hand, crouched down and quickly ran out of the room. Yun Xiao wanted to chase her, but was stopped by Feng Zhaolian. Yun Xiao was puzzled: "Just let her go like this?"
Feng Zhaolian spread his hands, "What else? What can you do to her? She is just doing things for others. What's more, she is right. Even if she hadn't been here, we would have come to Tongcheng. It's just a coincidence. That girl is very particular. At least she pointed out a way for us to survive." He stood up and said seriously, "Let's go! Go to the prefectural government. We must go and see what the way of survival that girl mentioned is like."
When Duanmu Anguo was in the Northern Frontier, he had taken in numerous concubines, and those concubines gave birth to many children for him. At that time, everyone in Dashun knew that Duanmu Anguo's offspring, thanks to the offspring born by his concubines, were much more prosperous than those of the royal family. Compared with the royal family, he seemed more like a king.
As for those children, the boys were raised by him, and the girls were sent to all parts of the country from an early age. Those children were scattered in all kinds of families, including scholars, farmers, merchants, and workers. Some children grew up safely, and they might not know their true identity in their whole life, and Duanmu Anguo might never use them in his whole life. These children are undoubtedly the luckiest. And some children were targeted by Duanmu Anguo early on, and were threatened by him to do all kinds of things he asked.
Clouds are one of them.
Yun Duo didn't know her life experience a year ago, until one day, a group of men in black came to her, told her her identity openly, and threatened her adoptive parents' lives, forcing her to work for Duanmu Anguo. From that moment on, Yun Duo's fate was no longer the same as before. She could no longer carefreely joke and play with little sisters of the same age, could no longer go to the girls' school to learn needlework and etiquette, and could not accompany her parents intimately. Because her adoptive parents had been taken away by Duanmu Anguo's people, the only way to save her adoptive parents was for her to work for Duanmu Anguo. If she succeeded, she could go back to her original life.
Yun Duo didn't know how many people like her there were, but she once heard by chance that Duanmu Anguo had daughters all over the world, and as long as he needed one, he could grab one anytime and anywhere to do things for him.
She couldn't understand how there could be such a perverted person in the world. Those were his daughters! Why were they like tools to him, used when needed and thrown aside when not needed? Moreover, during the execution of the mission, it seemed that he never considered the safety of these girls. If she died halfway, there would be a replacement who would soon take over the task she had not completed.
Yun Duo didn't quite understand what the title "father" meant. In her heart, only her adoptive parents were her real relatives, and the person who was said to be truly related to her by blood was just a wolf in human skin.
Once upon a time, her goal was to successfully rescue her adoptive parents, but just before she met Feng Zhaolian, she accidentally learned that her adoptive parents had already died at the hands of Duanmu Anguo, and that she would not be able to bring back her parents' lives even if she completed this mission to the end. Yun Duo's stubborn and cold personality changed the moment she learned the news.
They were all dead, and she was the only one left. Then, Yun Duo thought, she shouldn't have stayed in this world, right? The thought of having the blood of such a filthy person flowing in her body made her feel sick. But she still had to come to Tongcheng, just to see what the man who said he was her biological father looked like.
After leaving the inn, she walked around a street, then through an alley, and finally stopped in front of a rice store. She calmed herself down, walked in, passed through two doors, stopped at the door of the innermost room, and knocked three times, and someone inside opened the door for her.
"I've brought the person here." She flashed into the house, stood still and said, "According to the previous arrangement, I will just bring the person here, and you can handle the rest by yourselves."
There was a middle-aged man sitting in the room. The light was dim, so Yun Duo couldn't see his face clearly. In fact, for so long, she had never seen the faces of all the people who claimed to be Duanmu Anguo. They were either masked or showed her only their backs. Yun Duo sometimes even felt that all this was a dream, so unreal.
She crossed her hands in front of her, her fingers twisted into a ball, "I have a request." Her cold voice rose again, trembling slightly.
The man finally spoke in a deep voice, "You've done very well. If you have any requests, please tell me!"
Yun Duo raised her head and tried hard to look at the man's face, but still couldn't see clearly. She gave up and said, "I want to see my father."
"I want to see the master." The man spoke in a tone of statement rather than question. After a while, he said, "Okay, I will ask the master if he is willing to see you, but I can't guarantee it."
Yun Duo took a deep breath and said unwillingly, "It's just a daughter's request to see her father, why is it possible that it won't work? Is there any father in the world who doesn't want to see his daughter? I can do everything for him, but he won't even see me? Please help me talk to him, I really want to see him."
"Okay." The man stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go tell the master."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards a small door. Yun Duo's eyes were filled with hope, and she stared at the place where the man left, her heart pounding.
Duanmu Anguo, the person she wanted to meet in her dreams, but it was not because of the bullshit father-daughter relationship, but because she wanted to kill him with her own hands! That beast killed her parents, harmed her sister, and drowned the only woman in the family.
That was not her father, but her greatest enemy in this life. She wanted revenge, revenge for her parents!
Subconsciously, Yun Duo clenched her fists fiercely, and her eyes were almost emitting fire. She was thinking that if Duanmu Anguo walked out of that small door, as long as he could get a little closer, she would definitely rush forward, and then use the knife hidden in the hairpin to ruthlessly cut his throat, cut off his neck, and let his head roll to the ground. As long as she could kill that person, she didn't care about life and death, and it didn't matter if they died together, as long as she could kill him, it would be fine.
Unfortunately, she still couldn't wait for Duanmu Anguo to come out of the door. As she was eagerly looking forward to it, a cold dagger stabbed into her heart from behind. Yun Duo's small body didn't have time to turn around to see who was holding the knife. Her eyes, which were still smart and full of deep hatred a moment ago, had to close and never opened again.
"Hmph!" The man behind him let go, and the dagger fell to the ground along with Yun Duo's body. "It doesn't mean you have to meet each other just because you are related by blood. The master has too many daughters, so many that he can't even remember which one you are. Since the mission has been completed, there is no need to keep you. Little girl, have a safe journey. If you really want to turn things around, pray that you won't be that man's daughter in your next life." After he finished speaking, he immediately ordered his men to "act! Go and capture the two people in the inn alive and bring them to the master."
However, when they rushed to the inn, they could not see Feng Zhaolian and Yun Xiao! An accomplice guarding the inn told them: "The two men left an incense stick ago. I didn't dare to do anything without orders. I followed them for a while and found that they went into the prefectural government."
"Went to the prefectural government?" This news surprised them. Duanmu Anguo had no intention of falling out with the prefect yet. After all, he still had to rely on Zong Sui, so he had to leave himself some wiggle room. If Feng Zhaolian entered the prefectural government, whether to force action or not was not something they could decide. "Forget it, let's withdraw and go back to ask the master first."
